Good point. Building with pcap network support only requires pcap.h visible at simulator build time. Libpcap is dynamically loaded at runtime. Is libpcap.so usually available in the typical Android runtime environment?
Additionally, Linux pcap networking requires running as root. I guess that might be possible on a smart TV, but probably not common...

I think that trying to get libpcap included would be more effort than it is worth since essentially all Android devices don't have a wired network connection and thus would be left trying to use libpcap over WiFi. In general, this isn't something that works too well. - Mark _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com<mailto:Simh@trailing-edge.com> http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
